How can I make the text flow around an image in Webflow?

To make text flow around an image in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Insert an image element: Drag and drop an image element onto your page where you want the image to appear.

  2. Set the position: With the image selected, go to the Styles panel and set the position to either "relative" or "absolute." This will allow the text to flow around it.

  3. Adjust the size and alignment: Resize and align the image as desired. You can do this by setting the width, height, and margin properties in the Styles panel.

  4. Create a container: Place the image inside a container element. This will help separate the image from the rest of the content and ensure the text flows around it properly.

  5. Set the container to "float": Select the container element and go to the Styles panel. Set the "float" property to either "left" or "right." This will allow the text to wrap around the image.

  6. Adjust margins and padding: Fine-tune the spacing between the image and the surrounding text by adjusting the container's margins and padding in the Styles panel.

  7. Test and refine: Preview your site in Webflow's designer or publish it to see how the text flows around the image. Make any necessary adjustments to achieve the desired result.

Following these steps will enable you to make text flow around an image in Webflow, creating a visually appealing layout.

Example code:

<div style="position: relative; width: 300px; height: 200px; margin: 10px; float: left;">  <img src="your-image.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" alt="Your Image"></div><p>Your text here...</p>

Note: If you're using the Webflow Designer, it's recommended to apply these styles using the interface rather than inline styles.
